Adored the characters more than any other Yakuza, and I love the focus on Japan's sex industry.

Broke in my soft-modded PS2 with this and it was a treat.
Surprisingly, even in my march to 100%, I never got bored or tired of marching across America. Though some decry the late game's ziplines for trivialising some climbs, getting to the point where you set up a zipline and maintaining that network is intensely satisfying. And the DualSense support!! Magnificent!
Picked this up not because of Backloggd praise, but because I heard some of Hiroshi Okubo's tracks in a DJ mix. I want the aesthetics to subsume my DNA.
ON THE GWEEN
It's Crimzon Clover again so I was onboard from the get-go. Arrange mode is a nice little addition, the cherry on top.
We are not worthy.
Good! I don't want to play anymore though because I don't care about the story I just want to get cool runs going.
I don't even remember playing this but it must've kicked ass
It's no Picross but dammit, it stands on its own.
Playing this on Nintendo Switch Online was dreadful. Playing with an actual N64 pad? Bliss, mechanical perfection. Zamn!
Have been playing on and off since 201X but this year marked my earnest foray into 1CCing STG. I love the mechanics, the aesthetic, the music, the scoring. So satisfying.
Finally, Magical Drop for cashiers.
FUCK YEAH WINDJAMMERS
Put it in my veins
Adorable and the one of only two golf games my golf hating boyfriend has ever liked. When you're even cheering for your opponents, you know you've struck gold.
Another perfect length Treasure treasure. The DC version is unmitigated fun.
By far the most unique tower defence I've ever played, I love the interplay between the towers and the cursor, and the faux-rivalry aspects it brings to the table. Plot is batshit and magnificent.
Started this up as my first foray into the X68000 and fell in love instantly. It is so rough around the edges that I couldn't recommend it to most, and parts of it aggravate the hell out of me, but this is a technical marvel, pure and simple. Loved it enough to get a CiB copy shipped over from Japan. Also presented an opportunity to work with Shmuplations as I've been researching more about this monumental game that gets no recognition in the West.
My lawyers have advised me not to speak on this game any further.
It's arguably better than SA1 in every way but it doesn't have the adventure field. So much of game though!

Hamm my beloved.
It's cute! I don't really care about the story but taking pictures of animals? J'adore.
Perfect amuse-bouche. Played before they updated it at all and added lore or whatever and I'm glad for it. I don't need to know its particulars.
👾 E X C E L L E N T
Perfect for semi-casual play thanks to its kinda busted mechanics. A pastel feast.
The novelty of a new Build Engine game makes up for its shortcomings, which are plentiful.
Not since Kingdom Hearts have I been so genuinely touched by something so painfully earnest. Immaculate.
It's good and I got 21st in the world
HOLY SHIT
Simple but elegant.
Nobody on Earth will ever believe me when I say this is a superb game. But it's okay, because I believe me.
Holy shit they made Bust-a-Groove kick ass. The genre switches are dope and I love the idea of balancing your team's participation while still chasing score.
Fuck me this is a long one but it's a technical feat and fun (even if it overstays its welcome near the end).
That combat sequence blows chunks but oooh the aesthetic oooh the vibes.
Holy shit imagine paying out the wazoo for a good but not great cute-em-up
By no means amazing and I see why it failed its location test but it's an interest enough romp for a lil bit.
All my homies love Zonk and his ability to fire car adapters.
Pure fun through and through. I loved every second.
Life was better when companies made fun of themselves.
A tad belaboured but interesting enough for me to complete two playthroughs. Hope to see this refined in future.
Calum Bowen my beloved.
Oh also the game is cute and fun.
